Ehhh, you'll be there. Besides, who else will peel the skins off those boiled peanuts for Fulminated

Fulminated changed his forum name to trigger hurt and then sold all of his hammock gear, and he don't need no help getting into boiled peanuts.

I have heard your confession I know who you blame
If you had it all back you'd just lose it again
Can't bank on redemption if you ain't saved
Don't bring me your tales of temptation and loss
Don't bring me the pieces of your shattered cross

I would like to come as well. Can someone post the GPS coordinates of the parking and the island? Might have to check it all before May to see what the paddle is like.

I don't have have GPS numbers for you maybe someone else might be able to help with that. In the time being here is what I can provide you with:

It looks like the closest public boat access is almost straight across the lake at Moon's Landing (4105 Watts Bridge Road, Cross Hill, SC‎ - (864) 998-4292)‎. This should be a short 10 minute paddle to the island.

Thanks Muskrat. Put me down in the hopeful column. I went through every page of the last thread and found lots of good info on the logistics.

We have a family place across and down from goat island at one of the new campgrounds. Looks like a couple mile paddle if I leave my truck there. Shouldnt be bad in May, but crossing the lake in summertime in a canoe from there might be interesting with the boats stirring up the water!

Good deal! Nothing official yet as far as who be and who ain't coming, merely a planning list for the time being.

It's really not that bad. I did it in my kayak with about 1" of freeboard last year b/c I didn't want to make 2 trips. The looks I got as I paddled up were priceless

I hope you can make it.
